To My Brother (Words of Wisdom, A Collection of Quotations) Book

Anyone who has a brother knows that it is a relationship that is full of emotion and often complex. It is a relationship of biblical proportions-and one that has inspired writers, poets, and philosophers for thousands of years.

To My Brother gathers together hundreds of quotations that reflect on this all-important relationship. Some contributors such as Bill Cosby, Whoopi Goldberg, Frank McCourt, Anna Quindlen, and Mark Twain share lively anecdotes involving their brothers. Other contributors such as Anton Chekhov, Herman Melville, Henry David Thoreau, and Vincent Van Gogh pen thoughtful letters to their brothers, excerpts of which are included here. While still others, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Malcolm X shed light on the broader notion of brotherhood.

Full of candid insights and humorous reflections, To My Brother thoughtfully illuminates this many-faceted relationship.
